Some days ago Amos Zerbe, an esteemed
citizen Of Canton and formerly village
gt0rekeeper at Sparta, Stark county,
died and was buried In the Melshheimer
church cemetery, south Of the city A
few days after the burial the sexton
noticed that the grave had sunk much
more than usual and his suspicion being
aroused he dug down to the coffin and
found 1t empty.
Monday evening the story was shoat
that several suspicious looking young
gentlemen, under police surveillance,
were here at the time and shipped q
large box to Cleveland when they left.
Nothing could be found by the authori-
ties to retain them at the time, and 1t is
now thought that they were the ghouls
who did the)ibody snRtching and took
